The quality mark for carers

Carer Friendly aims to recognise, improve and increase access to information and support for unpaid carers.

A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support.

Three in five people in the UK will be carers at some point in their lives. Caring can have an impact on many aspects of someone’s life — from money and work to health and wellbeing.
